The U.S. Attorney's Office announced that a man taken into custody in connection with Thursday's shooting in Kansas City has been charged with illegal firearm possession.

Kansas City police arrested Larry Davis, 21, near 80th and Campbell streets after a chase. Police said they began following Davis because his car matched a witness description from a fatal shooting near 61st Street and College Avenue.

Police said they found a Romarm 7.62 x 39 mm rifle on the floorboard of the car Davis was driving.

It is against the law for Davis, a convicted felon, to be in possession of a gun.

No charges have yet been filed in connection with the death of Craig Crook, who was shot multiple times while sitting in his car.
